WATCH: Lainey Wilson Makes Late Night Debut with ‘Things A Man Oughta Know’

Rising country star Lainey Wilson made her late night television debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday evening.

The Louisiana native took the stage to perform her first-ever chart-topping single, “Things A Man Oughta Know,” which topped both the Mediabase and Billboard Country radio charts in September. 

Sporting a red coat and tie adorned with colorful rhinestones by Any Old Iron and bell bottoms from Cat O’ Nine clothing, Wilson effortlessly performed the track on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage.

“That certainly wasn’t my first late night but it was the first time I let them air it on television…” laughed Lainey. “What an incredible experience through and through. I felt like a million bucks in my head-to-toe red get-up, and appreciate the warm welcome from the entire Jimmy Kimmel Live! crew. Thank you for making it so special, y’all are world class.”

Wilson celebrated the success of her No.1 single via social media with a message of gratitude to everyone who has helped her along the way. 

“Thank you to anybody and everybody who has given me a chance,” she wrote. “That’s all I’ve ever wanted. I was taught if you want something, you go get the dang thing. There were so many hands on deck to get this song to number one and a ‘thank you’ just don’t do it justice. But thank you to the folks who have given me a pat on the back, encouraged me, listened to my music, given me an opportunity, told me I could do it, and even the ones who told me I couldn’t do it because it made me want it that much more. This is just the beginning.”

She went on to offer anyone else out there chasing a dream a bit of advice. 

“And to anybody who has a dream so deep down in their heart that can’t stand it… put your blinders on, lean in, and go get it.”
